Is that a keg I see in the corner? In your web page pics that is. And where you hiding all the plates???[/quote]

The pics are a few days old and the plates hadn’t come in yet, but they are there now and even more have been ordered.

Thanks for keeping an eye out and yes there is a keg sitting in the corner. right now there is water in it, but it will likely get emptied and filled with sand.

The pic is of Cezar and Chris with the womens best lifter from the APF meet today. She hit 300 in the 181 class, i think she actually weighed in at 170ish. The lift was a solid PR for her.

Had my first workout today.

Cezar, your place kicks ass! Thanks for taking the time to teach me a thing or two, sorry I’m such a newb. :slight_smile: I look forward to lifting again tomorrow!

No sorry, we didn’t bring back or write down the results. It was a blast though.

125

who did 590??

126

John Mendoza did the 590 at 220 for best lifter but the biggest bench went to Zeke ??? with 600 at 242.

I will get the results from JR and get them posted on the strengthworks site.

There will be a big bench workout (that just sounds funny) this saturday at the gym.

As a major sponsor of the APF here in AZ StrengthWorks is beginning to host the saturday workouts.

In time these will become both squat and bench workouts, but this week the emphasis is on the bench.

Typically the workout is shirt work, boards, lockout work… but now that the gym is hosting the opprotunities are only going to open up.

Also we will be taking photos so you might just show up on the website.

For those of you that have wanted to check the place out, here is a great opprotunity.

the normal day use fee won’t apply to the morning session but there will be a charge with a portion of the money going to the APF.

See you there.

Damn this sounds cool! How long is the session gonna last on Saturday?

129

til noon-ish.

leaving early will be a better idea than showing up late.

Well, my first impression was “dungeon.” That is excellent. The perfect atmosphere to get man-strong. Get those adjustable benches, a couple fans and you’re set.

I’ve been thinking about marketing… and I believe your main clientelle will be men, though any and every woman you get to join will be great;

“Go to StrengthWorks Gym and get MAN-STRONG” or “Women, put those frat boys to shame and get strong (not big) at StrengthWorks Gym” all over campus. You’ll get your 140 head count.

Congrats on what you guys have accomplished and all the best in your success.

I’m glad I joined. I felt like a pussy today, and that made me mad.

Saturday was very cool, from what i’ve heard everyone had alot of fun and a great workout. Looking forward to doing more of these types of things.

Sunday I got to see a member nail GHRs for the first time after some time sweating and hurting in the GHR, ended up doing sets of three, very cool.

10am saturday morning. APF workout. Last week was great and looks like there will be more people this week.

Bench or squat this week. you choose.

Alright, the time has come. StrengthWorks is looking for trainers. If you are interested the stop by the website and send me your resume and expectations.

The short of it is that trainers will be independent contractors and all the associated responsibilities.

I’m really enjoying your place Cezar, this is by far the best gym I’ve ever trained at.

There was a lot of interest in this gym when this thread first started. Where are the rest of you guys hiding out? You really should come by and see what you’re missing!

I just checked out the gym today, man is it AWESOME. Love those EFS competition benches. Ya’lls whole setup is kickass.I hope to be lifting there for years to come.
